Jazz, neo-classical, avant-pop, generative. https://www.facebook.com/EidonVeda/ "Eidon put ook uit mathrock, minimal music, jazz, etnische muziek... Hij zou perfect passen als support van Gogo Penguin, Battles of Dijf Sanders en kan op termijn misschien wel een plaats veroveren op zowel Rock Werchter als Gent Jazz of Couleur Café. Benieuwd hoe hij dit live brengt" Roel Vergauwen (Rock Werchter)
May I invite you to my jazz café, the Electric Cirkus Factory? ^_^

Okonai is the rite of marriage between the rice fields and the mountain, which represent the world organized by man and the Absolutely Free world of Nature:
“There is an ancient rite, the okonai (行ない), which clearly expresses, in the symbolic language of the ceremony, the cultural perception of sacred space, based on overcoming the opposition between the two dimensions of the ecosystem that characterizes daily village life: the rice fields and the mountain. On the night of the first of the year, the village heads of households climb up to the slopes of the mountain. On the edge of the forest they draw a sacred perimeter. The tōya 当屋, the religious and social leader of the village, enters it, holding two wooden statues representing one the mountain goddess (Yama-no-kami, 山の神) and the other the god of the rice field (Ta-no-kami, 田の神). The tōya joins the two statues symbolizing their sexual union, pours sake, the symbol of semen, on their sexes, and declares them to be newlyweds. Everyone then presents offerings to the deities and the officiant reads norito 祝詞, a prayer formula. Sake is then distributed to each person, and the offerings are divided and consumed. The village chief makes possible the union between the deities who define the two different spaces, of the cultivated and the wild, and seals the harmony between humans and nature. The dichotomy of these economically and culturally distinct worlds is not perceived as a rigid opposition, a distinction that denies any possibility of an exchange relationship; it is expressed in the terms of a necessary complementarity. Everything in this ritual is mediation: mediation of spatial patterns because the ritual takes place at the boundary point between the last rice fields and the forest. And mediation of time, because the ceremony marks the transition from one year to the next, between the cultivation cycle that has passed and the one that is to begin; it is the last hours of the night when the rite begins and, when it ends, it is dawn.”
(Massimo Raveri, “Classical Japanese Thought,” Piccola Biblioteca Einaudi, ISBN 9788806165871).
Two worlds becoming one; the transition from night to day, from the old to the new, from the mystical to the carnal: all this struck me in no small measure. I then thought of writing a piece of music dedicated to this propitiatory rite. And so here is Okonai, an algorithmic composition generated from the two seed strings “tanokami” and “yamanokami.” It can be downloaded from my #bandcamp here. I hope you’re going to enjoy it!
The photos, so beautiful in my opinion, are by Kanemori.

...And now for something completely different 😊
An Absolutely Free improvisation by Duke Scarlet. Here I play my Fender Jazz. With a plectrum, obviously.
Fans of Frank Zappa shall definitely recognize the movie I used in the video... 😊
…is an algorithmic composition of mine — the sounds that you can hear are produced by instruments that play notes selected by an algorithm.
<a href="https://eidon.bandcamp.com/album/my-little-grundgestalts">My Little Grundgestalts by Eidon</a>
The algorithm simulates matches from a traditional game of cards known by the name Beggar-my-neighbour (also known as Strip Jack Naked).
Every match is defined by the cards that are shuffled and then given to two players, whom I call Neal and Jack.
The pack of cards is not the “standard” pack. It only has 12 cards, by the following face values:

栄屯 『Eidon』 two 0s, one 3, two 5s, three 7s, one 8, and three 9s.Six cards are given to Neal, six cards to Jack, and they start playing.
Where does the music come from? From the states of the game, represented by Neal’s cards, Jack’s card, and the card that are being stacked “on the table” by the two players. Those states are interpreted as numbers, and those numbers select notes.
Sounds complex, though it is actually very simple to code. The simulator, e.g., is available here, while the note selection code is defined here.
Now, if you consider the states of the games as coordinates in a space, what happens exactly? That the progress of the game becomes… a set of points in that space!
And that’s what you have in this videoclip: what you see is the set of all possible states, plotted as a set of unit spheres. The Persistence of Vision Raytracer is used to create the frames of the videoclip, in which the position of the observer is slowly changed at each time step so as to create the illusion of movement. The video was created with the Permutation Feedpovray tool.
If you like this music, you may want to download a lossless version of it from my bandcamp. There you may find a lot of my compositions. And if you like them too, maybe you could subscribe to my list and be informed of the new songs I add there.
A “like” to my page would also be great ^_^ Thanks very much!
